I had a similar thing at #WorldCon2024, where some of the most interesting talks turned out to be for 8-12. One talk where you build a cardboard city and a second where you are Godzilla smashing it down? Yes please!

I normally post my sketch notes form a con as I do them or when I get home, but since I court the flu I have not had the brain for it. So you are getting it now!

What is a woman? Tristan Gray published a post on Ko-fi

Actually inspired by the joy of the genderqueer mess that was #WorldCon2024 a few weeks ago.

What is a woman? It's a far harder question for us as individuals than as a society where the answer is simple - just ask. You don't need to know why they answered how they did.

My First Worldcon: Glasgow 2024 Hi! I got home safely on Tuesday evening, and it's Saturday now, but sometimes you need to let the waves calm down before you start writing about them or the ink will run. Anyway, this is the report o...

Happily doing my dangerous edits now with the #Worldcon2024 Philharmonic playing in the background. 😁 #Glasgow2024 #ForOurFutures (hopefully music will soothe the savage manuscript and it won't cut me again)

I'm still coming down from #WorldCon2024, so here is a translated #fantasy read for #WITMonth!
On his way home from work, photographer Mikael finds some children tormenting something in his courtyard. He sends them packing and discovers it's a troll, and it's quite badly hurt.

So, #WorldCon2024 was amazing, and it definitely made me wish that I still had my lil SFF circle from twitter. But I feel like I haven't been around BkueSky enough to find everyone. Who else is around here?

I tested negative again this morning 4 days post #Worldcon2024 so one more day (am cautiously hopeful, considering I was in contact Sunday night with at least 3 people who now have covid)

My dealers' room haul: 7 books, a print of Iain Clark's 'Shipbuilding Over the Clyde), some stickers, an award for not indulging in censorship, a little scrunchie thing and a bunch of ribbons on my badge

My dealers' room haul: 7 books, a print of Iain Clark's 'Shipbuilding Over the Clyde), some stickers, an award for not indulging in censorship, a little scrunchie thing and a bunch of ribbons on my badge

I managed to get to the dealers' room and art show before being struck with the Plague and got a respectable con haul. Looking on the bright side, it may be for the best that my bag space was limited and I wasn't able to go back on subsequent days...

Worldcon was great apart from catching the 'rona.
Amongst the things I learned was that Mortal Kombat was inspired by a Nordic song.
I'm not sure but I think it was a Finnish hymn.

Installed on the first of today's trains, with another polite young man helpfully hoisting my suitcase onto the luggage rack. After 5 days of a highly enjoyable and therefore tiring #Worldcon2024 I'll take all help that's offered. Now to relax until Birmingham. Phew.

#Glasgow2024 #WorldCon2024 was amazing! My first con, I was encouraged to go by a friend with whom I enjoyed lots of time, and I made new friends as well! I survived 5 days of late nights thanks to my scooter and community reminders to hydrate. I'm now at home and resting. Thanks for the memories!

Erm. I didn't realise I was about to get Worldcon famous yesterday. I didn't know who I'd been sharing Science Brain with re: COVID and ME/CFS on the #Worldcon2024 Discord server because I was using a fan ID on the disability and sickness reporting channels.

I don't have an agent yet.

Calling all #Worldcon #Worldcon2024 people, I need an opinion; for next year's #HugoAwards should I nominate this under Best Dramatic Presentation (Short Form) or Best Related Work? youtu.be/Fxbk4TgXtKc?...
